11 Most Endangered Nomination Form 2015

Since 1988, the National Trust has used its list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places to raise awareness about the threats facing some of the nation's greatest treasures. The list, which has identified 253 sites to date, has been so successful in galvanizing preservation efforts that only a handful of sites have been lost.

We are now accepting nominations for the 2015 list of America's 11 Most Endangered Historic Places. If you know of an important site across the country that could benefit from the national spotlight that only the 11 Most program can deliver, please consider nominating it to the 2015 11 Most Endangered list.

When evaluating a potential site for inclusion on the list, we consider a range of factors, including its significance, whether there is a local group engaged in its preservation, the urgency of the threat the site faces, and potential solutions to that threat.

All fields are required. Deadline for submissions is Monday, March 2, 2015.

TIP: To avoid the risk of losing any data, we recommend that you enter your responses to the application form questions below in a separate document (Microsoft Word, for example) and then copy and paste your responses into this form.
